function Get-DbaXEObject { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets a list of trace(s) from specified SQL Server instance(s). .DESCRIPTION This function returns a list of Traces on the specified SQL Server instance(s) and identifies the default Trace File .PARAMETER SqlInstance Target SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2008 or higher. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use: $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter. Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .PARAMETER Type Used to specify the type. Valid types include: Action Event Map Message PredicateComparator PredicateSource Target Type .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: ExtendedEvent, XE, Xevent Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaXEObject -SqlInstance sql2016 Lists all the XE Objects on the sql2016 SQL Server. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaXEObject -SqlInstance sql2017 -Type Action, Event Lists all the XE Objects of type Action and Event on the sql2017 SQL Server. #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [ValidateSet("Type", "Event", "Target", "Action", "Map", "Message", "PredicateComparator", "PredicateSource")] [string[]]$Type, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { if ($Type) { $join = $Type -join "','" $where = "AND o.object_type in ('$join')" $where.Replace("PredicateComparator", "pred_compare") $where.Replace("PredicateSource", "pred_source") } $sql = "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') AS ComputerName, ISNULL(SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName'), 'MSSQLSERVER') AS InstanceName, SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS SqlInstance, p.name AS PackageName, ObjectType = CASE o.object_type WHEN 'type' THEN 'Type' WHEN 'event' THEN 'Event' WHEN 'target' THEN 'Target' WHEN 'pred_compare' THEN 'PredicateComparator' WHEN 'pred_source' THEN 'PredicateSource' WHEN 'action' THEN 'Action' WHEN 'map' THEN 'Map' WHEN 'message' THEN 'Message' ELSE o.object_type END, o.object_type as ObjectTypeRaw, o.name AS TargetName, o.description as Description FROM sys.dm_xe_packages AS p JOIN sys.dm_xe_objects AS o ON p.guid = o.package_guid WHERE (p.capabilities IS NULL OR p.capabilities & 1 = 0) $where AND (o.capabilities IS NULL OR o.capabilities & 1 = 0) ORDER BY o.object_type " } process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -MinimumVersion 9 } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue return } try { $server.Query($sql) | Select-DefaultView -ExcludeProperty ComputerName, InstanceName, ObjectTypeRaw } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Issue collecting trace data on $server." -Target $server -ErrorRecord $_ } } } } |
